Railroad Nostalgia. The railway station which had seen better days. It still plays a role in social scene. Albeit differently. Someone had setup used clothing shop on the tracks and children were playing Cricket on the platform. Few people were chilling under the shadow of Station building. Apparently police has taken possession of the only room in the station. The door was locked and there was graffiti on the wall. You could still peep through the window. There was a sofa laying on one side and the whole place smelt foul. You could see the iron grills popping up from the concrete roof of the building. There was not much to do there. Few children posed for the photo but I screwed up the settings which I realized later. I waved them off. They came all the way to the car to see me off.
